I went to Ohio County hospital in Beaver Dam to have a ultrasound and a CT scan for a possible hernia. The test came back and the radiologist's report stated there was no sign of a hernia and everything... more was fine, they couldn't understand why I was having pain. I got the CD of my test and took them to OMHS in Owensboro, KY for a second opinion. I have a umbilical hernia! I have no idea why the radiologist at Ohio County Hospital said there was nothing wrong. But if they did it to me I'm sure they have done it before and will do it again. It worries me that they may have given a report of everything is fine to someone who has life threatening problems. Always get another opinion and make sure and get the CD's of your test. These are free all you have to do is call and go pick them up. Or ask for a copy when the tests are done.
